40” x 30” x 1/2” abstract acrylic painting by John R. Redmond
Hi All,
Today I have posted a painting that is rather subtle and delicate. It reminded me of song lyrics I wrote not long ago. Friend Murray and I were writing a tune one evening but aborted efforts after a while. Murray had created a sweet tune but we were not totally satisfied with the lyrics. The following morning I was up early and began playing with words as I do. I could not remember all of the melody that Murray had created the evening before but set to work with what I could, keeping an end rhyme. When Murray saw the lyrics I had written he reworked the tune a bit. The result was a pretty song which we have recorded. We sang it as a duet with Murray singing low and myself singing high. It still needs some cello tracks.
Here are a few lines from the song to accompany the painting I am sharing;
“There’s no edge to her world
Seamless what she can see
Above lone silence air
Her swan ecstasy
Between quickening notes
A trackless melody . . .
She’s a mystery to me.”

Here is a little Yo Yo Ma performing on cello and comments on space between the notes. Does anyone have his phone number? We need some cello tracks {:~DD The embedded function is apparently disabled. When you click it you will see the note. Click the note and you will zoom to Youtube in a separate window to listen/view the video.
